{Need help!!} Google maps within Viewpager Fragment

Question

Ive been trying to implement Google maps into a viewpager fragment, Ive followed many different tutorials but have fail miserably every time. If anyone has any incite into how to get something like this working i would be really happy!! below is the source code im using:

Src/MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {

    private PagerAdapter mPagerAdapter;
    public static FragmentManager fragmentManager;
    Context Map;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout._layout);
        inistialisePaging();

        //initialising the object of the FragmentManager.
        fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();

    }

Src/Map.java

package joe.wit.app.locophoto;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;

import com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdateFactory;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;

public class Map extends Fragment {



    private static GoogleMap mMap;
    private static Double latitude, longitude;
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        if(container == null){
            return null;

        }

        latitude = 26.78;
        longitude = 72.56;

        setUpMapIfNeeded(); // For setting up the MapFragment



        return (RelativeLayout) inflater.inflate(R.layout.map_layout, 
                container, false);  


    }

    /***** Sets up the map if it is possible to do so *****/
    public static void setUpMapIfNeeded() {
        // Do a null check to confirm that we have not already instantiated the map.
        if (mMap == null) {
            // Try to obtain the map from the SupportMapFragment.
            mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) MainActivity.fragmentManager
                    .findFragmentById(R.id.location_map)).getMap();
            // Check if we were successful in obtaining the map.
            if (mMap != null)
                setUpMap();
        }
        }
        /**
         * This is where we can add markers or lines, add listeners or move the
         * camera.
         * <p>
         * This should only be called once and when we are sure that {@link #mMap}
         * is not null.
         */
        private static void setUpMap() {
            // For showing a move to my loction button
            mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
            // For dropping a marker at a point on the Map
            mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(latitude, longitude)).title("My Home").snippet("Home Address"));
            // For zooming automatically to the Dropped PIN Location
            mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(latitude,
                    longitude), 12.0f));
        }


        /**** The mapfragment's id must be removed from the FragmentManager
         **** or else if the same it is passed on the next time then 
         **** app will crash ****/
        @Override
        public void onDestroyView() {
            super.onDestroyView();
            if (mMap != null) {
                MainActivity.fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
                    .remove(MainActivity.fragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.location_map)).commit();
                mMap = null;
            }
        }
}

That won't compile I am afraid (incovertible types: android.app.Fragment vs com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment).

This worked for me:

mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) ((FragmentActivity) getActivity()).getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.location_map)).getMap();

Unfortunately this didn't work got the following error: FragmentActivity cannot be resolved to a type – Irishdiablo Feb 27 '15 at 09:31

Try using getChildFragmentManager() instead of getFragmentManager().

Like:

mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getChildFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
